Listen

Summary

We discuss a fascinating Los Angeles based new religious group called The Source Family, led by a charismatic WWII vet, hand to hand combat expert, mystic, guru, and possible bank robber. It’s sex, drugs and rock n roll, literally. The Source Family was a short lived group, but during its short life it found its way into the favor of the Hollywood elite, the vegetarian movement, and psychedelic rock history.
